McMaster left open the possibility of evacuations until late Friday, as Irma approached southern Florida. "A lot more people on the roads are going to slow things down". This information is detailed in the 2017 S.C. Hurricane Guide, now available at all Walgreen's stores statewide, at all rest areas along interstates and for download at http://scemd.org.

McMaster urged drivers to follow evacuation signs posted along the highways, "no matter what they say on Google maps".

McMaster also issued an order requiring owners of 2,370 public and private dams to lower their lake water levels. But the trip could coincide with the state's first major hurricane strike in almost 28 years. The remnants of the deadly hurricane are now projected to sweep into Alabama and Georgia by Monday morning, bringing strong winds and rain.
